Single serving portion cups packed into cases

In this automated system, single-serving portion cups are packed into cases for shipment. The cups exit the filler on an indexing conveyor and are delivered to a FANUC M-420iA food-grade robot. The food grade option includes special covers, surface coatings, lubricants and fasteners suitable for food. Expiration dates are printed on the bottom of the cups while being transferred to the case. The robot picks an entire layer of cups from the filler and transfers it to the case. The robot gripper collapses in 2 directions to create an efficient packing pattern. A separate device automatically introduces a separator sheet between layers
